I agree with the points, but not for $15. Spiral notebooks are ~$1? I have a stack of spiral notebooks journaling my workouts going back almost 10 years at this point.
...and I've a stack of spiral notebooks jotting my daily notes going back about 15. Any phone call, I take a couple of lines of notes. Any meeting, there's another few lines (or a few pages depending).
Flight numbers, names of people I speak to, todo items, commitments, it's all there. Usually things end up getting transferred to something else (a planner, a contacts application, my multi-kb "notes.txt" file), but that first scribble doesn't need me to handle lockscreens or login passwords or bootup time, and it might be exactly the sort of thing I need to pull me out of trouble weeks, months, or years later.
